Yes, I am the person who invented the concept of “himpathy,” wherein men who commit misogynistic acts often receive undue or disproportionate sympathy actually owed to their female victims. But it’s one thing to sympathize less with men; it’s another to give up on them rather than holding them accountable. I suspect that in the popularization of the concept of himpathy, people often treat resisting himpathy as synecdoche for being harsh and unresponsive to men in general. Rejecting himpathy is equated with throwing out the whole man, and refusing to engage with him following characteristically male misdeeds. But that doesn’t strike me as a way of doing what needs doing here, which is holding men to defensible and equitable moral standards; on the contrary, it pessimistically assumes that men cannot learn to do better.
